QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor Carly Bailey

To ask the Manager for an update on planned Teenspaces for both LEAs, including timelines.

REPLY:

 Public Realm have started work on the procurement of all the remaining Teenspaces.  We have also started the consultation process.  Over the past month we have engaged with Comhairle No nOg and Foroige on the Teenspaces to decide on how the consultations should be carried out.  We have decided that the remaining teenspaces will involve design workshops which we hope can be facilitated by the local schools and will be supported by Comhairle and Foroige. 

In 2023 we plan on developing Teenspaces in Whitechurch and Dodder Valley Park (West).  Given the procurement timelines it will likely be Q3 or Q4 before they will be completed. In Q1/Q2 2024 we plan on developing a Teenspace in Dodder Valley Park (East). The construction on the Teenspace at Tymon Limekiln will commence in Q2 2023.
